Last winter (or maybe the winter before) while shopping at Costco we passed some very big pillows, long like a body pillow. I reached out to touch the pillow, and it was the softest pillow I had ever felt. The soft, velvety fuzzy fabric was so captivating, I couldn’t stop petting it. T then reached over and started petting it, too.
Soon we found ourselves transfixed by this big soft body pillow. Knowing there was no way we were leaving the store without one…even though we really had no place at home to put it, we picked out a color and put it in our cart.
As we continued to shop, we noticed that strangers would reach out and pet our pillow. And when we got to the check out counter, the gal boxing up our stuff was just standing there petting the pillow in a euphoric trance. T joked, “Hey! Stop petting our pillow!” Laughing of course, it broke the clerk out of her velvety-soft-fuzzy-fabric-induced trance. A bit embarrassed, she did admit she would have to buy one of her own, she couldn’t just keep stealing comforting strokes on other people’s pillows as they came through the check-out stand.
While the pillow itself is nice, it’s the fabric that it’s covered in that sucks people into its vortex with no shame, a perfectly innocent looking pillow lying there with a secret sneaky mission in life, when within arm’s length of humans it is begging to be petted.

In fact the label calls it a “Butter Soft Body Pillow.” Now I don’t know about you, and maybe it’s one of those silent addictions that people don’t talk about in mixed company, but I don’t know very many people who are into petting butter. I’ve never read an article in Cosmopolitan or Good Housekeeping or even the Enquirer about the shameful back room secrets of the butter-petting crowd. 
I’ll admit that I could be wrong about it, though. In that case, though I say ignorance is bliss.
T figured that they should name it the “Stop Petting My Pillow, Pillow” cause it literally is one of the softest pillows ever, and people can’t stop themselves from being drawn into a velvety soft petting trance. It’s almost addictive! Which is probably part of its dastardly plan to take over the world, someday, anyway. 
How ’bout it?
